Usage

Transforming

Press the "Charge" key, by default "V," to charge the Philosopher's Stone, and Shift + V to lower the charge. While holding the Philosopher's Stone, right click grass to turn into sand, cobblestone into stone, and leaves or wood to turn into anything from oak to snow then snow to birch and vice versa. If you have a suitable source of EMC in your inventory (coal seems to work best for this), press "Release Charge", "R" by default, while targeting a mob and holding the Stone to transform it into other mobs of the same alignment (e.g cows will never become creepers, and creepers will never become cows).

Realtime Transmutation

The Philospher's Stone not only gives the power to change a handful of items into others, but it can also transform the very environment.
Right Clicking will transmute certain blocks into others; Shift + Right Click will change blocks as well (They change back to their previous form when clicked again):

This effect costs no EMC. Transmuting large areas at once can incur a cooldown on the effect.

Controls

Release Charge key (default R): Fires a projectile outwards. If it hits a mob, it will transform it into another random mob of that disposition, Peaceful or Aggressive. This effect costs 1 fuel (glowstone dust, redstone dust, etc.) Mobs added by other mods will turn into a slime or sheep randomly regardless of that mobs disposition. Sometimes, there is a bug that even when a mob is hit by this projectile, nothing happens.

Extra Function key (default C): Opens a Crafting Table. Due to some changes by Mojang, there is a bug making the Philosopher's Stone jump out of your table into your inventory or worse, disappear.

'Charge key (default V): Charges the stone for a larger realtime transmutation area (You can reset it by using it in a crafting recipe). Sneak+Charge (shift-V)'lowers the charge level.

Mode Select key (default G): Change the realtime transmutation shape from cube (default 3 dimensional cube), panel (2 dimensional cube, best if you only want to transmute a surface and no blocks behind it), and line (which is a 3x3x? cube, where ? depends on the charge level, best to transmute the walls of a tunnel or similar).

Extra Function (default C)+X: Opens an enchanting table which allows you to customize the level and specific enchantments for the specific items. Costs no EMC to use this feature. Note: This only works when NEI Cheat mode is enabled.
